In addition, we have developed an method for users of 10.1.3-au1 and
10.1.3-au2 to quickly, easily and losslessly upgrade to 10.1.3-au3.
The RC (36.1MB) is available at

https://dev.laptop.org.au/projects/xo-au-usb/repository/revisions/delta/changes/key/delta.zip

Instructions are simple:

  1. extract the ZIP file to a USB drive
  2. plug into the XO
  3. turn on

If you want the firmware to upgrade, you'll also need the XO plugged
into mains power with a full battery.

Enjoy,
Sridhar

wget gives me an 8615 byte file.  That can't be right.

My bad - thanks for telling me. That link points to the revisions
page. The file itself is at

Are you going to have a test day for this image? I'm working in Melbourne
CBD now, and although I have XO-1's, I'd be happy to help test the image if
you're going to have a day I can come in and bash away at the things that I
know bug me about some of the trial builds.

thanks,
Andrew

Re: OLPC-AU release candidate RC3 (au867)

The Melbourne XO Club meets on 16 July, as part of the LUV Beginners' Workshop:

http://lists.luv.asn.au/wws/arc/luv-announce/2011-07/msg1.html
http://luv.asn.au/2011/07/16

We need to have a release out by 25 July, which is the start of Term 3
in Northern Territory schools.

This release won't be directly available for XO-1s (we're phasing
those out). You can install our last (and latest stable) release
(10.1.3-au2) and run the upgrade routine. Your feedback on this would
be very valuable, as this is our intended method of getting our XO-1s
onto 10.1.3-au3.

Installing 10.1.3-au2[0] can be done by directly writing the image to
the XO, or through our XO-AU USB 2[1]. Once your XO is flashed and
working, you can run the upgrade routine as already outlined. To
repeat:

 1. extract the ZIP file[3] to a USB drive
 2. plug into the XO
 3. turn on

Once the upgrade stick verifies that you have a 10.1.3-au release
installed, it will upgrade the OS to 10.1.3-au3.

Cheers,
Sridhar
